What's next for the Pentagon after the Replicator programme?
Although the Replicator initiative has made several accomplishments, there are still multiple gaps to plug across the US Department of Defense (DoD) and its services.
The UK's Ministry of Defence (MoD) is in talks with unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) developer G-Nius regarding the possible procurement of its AvantGuard system for operations in Afghanistan, according to industry sources.
Speaking to Unmanned Vehicles at Eurosatory in Paris, G-Nius's chief executive officer, Erez Peled confirmed that the MoD had 'shown interest' in the AvantGuard UGV and 'wanted this application' for route proving and force protection.
Industry sources had previously told UV that the MoD was seeking a variety of assets to counter improvised explosive devices (IEDs) as employed by insurgent forces in Afghanistan. Other options are also being considered, UV was told.
